The
history of Athole Brose is surrounded by many legends, one of
which tells of the cunning exploits of the Duke of Atholl crediting
him with the invention during a Highland Rebellion in 1475. Fired
with the need to capture the rebel leader, Ian MacDonald, Earl
of Ross and Lord of the Isles, the Duke arranged to have the well
at which Ross was known to drink filled with the honey, whisky
and oatmeal. Ross, enchanted by what he drank, dallied by the
well too long and was captured.
